The belt came off of the crank mechanism, but I'll be danged it I can get it back on--it's quite a tight fit. Is there a secret?

You probably have to loosen the screws that hold the pedals i place. I think if you loosened one side, and took the other side out, ther would be enough slack to put the belt on. Not sure, though. While you've got it apart, put a couple of round hobby magnets on the resistance shoe, increases the resistance.

I use this every day and I never had this issue. I know when I was young and the chain came off you had to move the pedals slowly and work it on that way. I'm thinking that I would also notify seller and see if they can help you. I hope this was helpful.Beth

if you turned the 'squeezing' nut too much were the whole assembley turns you will never get it tight. you get one try at it then you have to back off the nut and drill out bad nutsert an try again with another there is no going back . you might find another one at a hardware store or email dee zee for another . good luck they are tricky!!!!

I was able to tighten with a coin or screwdriver. If that doesn't work then maybe it's defective.

Unscrew the handle (not all the way) and you will figure it out! JUST ROTATE THE HANDLE A LITTLE BIT AND RE TIGHTEN.

This hasn't happened to me, and I use it quite a bit. If you try hard you can get it to move, and if you do that enough you might get it to loosen up enough. But even then it would be so easy to make it fit nice and snug again.

Maybe a few things. Chain to tight. Shaft cable broke or binding(cable inside the long metal shaft) . Maybe the keyway on the engine crankshaft spline sheered. Debris jamming the chain under the chain cover. Good luck. Hope this helps.

Hi. I did but I had to make sure that the crankset fit my bike. It depends upon how much wear if any on the chain and freewheel. I had stripped the pedal threads taking old one off because a previous owner didn't use proper cleaning methods. The new crankset works great and was a good replacement. If you do you homework it should just bolt right back on. Good luck and just take you time.

I have been recently having the same issue with the belt slipping off. It isn't breaking, just slipping off. Very frustrating being in the middle of vacuuming or almost done and having to stop, find a screwdriver, undo six stupid screws and then fighting and breaking nails and crunching fingers to put the belt back on only to have it slip off again next time. I replaced the belt with the replacement belt that came with it and it too, slipped off. I made sure to clean the bar and brushes off thoroughly, including any little strings or hair that has wrapped itself around and tried sliding the belt on as far to the inside as possible. I also empty the dirt chamber often and make sure not to set the vacuum too low. This seems to have helped. However, if it continues to happen, I am going to try to find some kind of tiny rubber washer or "o" ring to wedge against the belt on the metal rod. It's too bad--for an economical vacuum, I sure like it, but if this continues, I'm going to return it.

I broke the red slider off a Cruzer and thought I would no longer be able to use it. But I manage to slide the fitting forward anyway. The red slider was too tight. I pushed it too hard and broke it, but I'm still able to push the fitting out even without the slider.

Hi Yolanda, try taking the cover off by pulling it away from the two tabs on either side, then lifting until the hooks on the front end release. Check that the belt is in place and not off the gears or broken. Check also for any debris that might be preventing the belt or the brush from turning. To replace the cover, make sure brush is in its slots, then hook the cover on the front hooks and click back into place.

Mine was tight too but I eventually got it off. Try wiggling it. My product was defective lower down the carafe so I returned it.

Yes, must be stuck. Try some "Liquid Wrench" or "WD-40." They must have put the rivet in too tight.

I had this issue with a new one, it turned out the magnetic part that goes on the crank arm wasn't a magnet at all.. .. so I used a small magnet I had and just stuck it to the end of the pedal bolt and it worked fine... (which was also a bonus, I didn't really have enough room for that whole rubber thing to fit between the crank and chainstay)

Mine is quite tight too. I don't know of any way to loosen other than by using it over and over.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.
